neck personalized Accuform cushions (CIVCO) were used.

Initial repositioning using CBCT before every fraction and

6DoF corrections was performed. Post-treatment CBCT

repositioning was also performed to assess intra-fractional

motion. Positional errors in all six directions were

compiled in addition to 3D total vector errors (TVE).

Results

Intrafraction translation errors (cm) for the vertical,

cranio-caudal and lateral directions were: 0.01 ± 0.03,

0.02 ± 0.05 and -0.01 ± 0.04 respectively (Mean± SD). 3D

TVE was 0.07 ± 0.04(Mean± SD). Intrafraction rotational

errors for pitch, roll and rotation were 0.13

respectively(Mean± SD) (Table.1).

Boxplots presented in Figure.1 show a small variability of

the TVE with a range of errors when we eliminate outliers

of 0.12cm; however 92% of the cases were within 0.1cm

deviation.

Conclusion

The use of personalized single layer masks with custom

made Accuform cushions produces stable positioning for

use on TrueBeam with Perfect Pitch platforms.

Intrafraction motion showed a mean TVE of 0.07 ± 0.04cm.

These results suggest that a PTV margin of 0.1cm for SRS

cases and 0.2cm for SRT cases is justified to mitigate

intrafraction errors.

Purpose or Objective

The use of surface-guided radiotherapy (SGRT) for deep

inspiration breath hold (DIBH) was investigated. Cardiac

and pulmonary dose-volume indices were compared during

free breathing (FB) and DIBH for left-sided breast cancer

patients. In this study, we calculated intra-fractional

isocenter shifts based on surface scanning for the first

time to investigate potential breathing variations during

beam delivery for the individual patient.

Material and Methods

Twenty patients treated with tangential technique, SGRT

and DIBH were included. They underwent two computed

tomography (CT) scans; one during FB and one during

DIBH, which enabled a dose planning study evaluating

possible dose sparing with SGRT and DIBH. Target volumes

and risk organs were contoured by the same physician in

both scans. Individual treatment plans were created and

dose-volume indices for the heart, the left anterior

descending artery (LAD) and the ipsilateral lung were

evaluated.

The optical scanning (OS) systems Sentinel and Catalyst

HD (C-RAD positioning AB, Sweden) were used at CT and

treatment, respectively. At CT the breathing motion was

monitored using an optical tracking point on the skin

above the xiphoid process. The size of the gating window

was 3 mm and the amplitude of the breath hold was

individual for each patient. At treatment the OS system

was used for both patient positioning and DIBH delivery.

The irradiation was controlled using the tracking point and

with the same amplitude and gating window determined

during the CT session.

Retrospectively, the coordinates of the calculated

isocenter according to the OS system during beam-on was

used to investigate intra-fractional motion in between the

two separate DIBHs during beam delivery of the two

tangential fields. The difference in isocenter position was

evaluated for 190 DIBHs from randomly selected

treatment fractions.

Results

The mean DIBH amplitude was 10.5±2.8 (1 SD) mm. The

mean dose for the heart was reduced from 1.5±0.8 Gy for

FB to 0.8±0.3 Gy for DIBH, and for the lung from 5.9±1.4

Gy for FB to 5.5±1.5 Gy for DIBH. Dose sparing was also

seen for LAD where the mean dose was 9.6±7.0 Gy for FB

and 3.8±2.9 Gy for DIBH. The maximum doses, represented

as D

2%

, were reduced from 14.4±15.2 Gy for FB to 3.6±2.7

Gy for DIBH and from 29.0±18.9 Gy for FB to 10.8±12.3 Gy

for DIBH for the heart and LAD, respectively. The intra-

fractional motion of the isocenter between two DIBHs was

small and the median values were 1.3 mm, 1.2 mm and

0.9 mm in the lateral, longitudinal and vertical directions,

respectively

(Figure 1).

Conclusion

For the first time, optical surface scanning was used to

evaluate isocenter motion during irradiation. The median

intra-fraction motion of the isocenter in the breast during

beam-on was less than 1.3 mm in all directions, using a

tracking point above xiphoid process and a 3 mm gating

window. It was shown, within this study, that the use of

SGRT during DIBH for left-sided breast cancer patients

results in decreased doses to organs at risk
